Product Information
This book is based on a true story. In the summer of 1943 England was in a bitter war with Germany. But England was running out of oil. The country had a secret small oil field producing about 300 barrels a day, using outdated equipment. But that was far short of their military needs. Germany was constantly bombing England's emergency oil supplies localities and the British faced a critical oil shortage. America tried to help, but German subs and planes kept sinking oil tankers en route to England. Britain's oil commission informed Prime Minister Churchill that unless some solution was found the country faced the probability of having to surrender to Germany in less than a year. The English were desperate, so they sent an envoy to America to solicit help from U. S. oil companies. The companies declined, citing their own oil production needs. But the British envoy, Phillip Southwell, doggedly pursued American help. Finally, two oil companies agreed to combine forces and provide England modern drilling equipment and oil worker expertise. The oil companies recruited 42 oil workers to take on a secret mission to help a desperate Allie. The workers signed on for a one-year contract to work 12 hours a day, seven days a week--with a generous pay scale. The workers and equipment was secretly shipped in a round-about route to England, where they were secretly housed in a large remote Anglican monastery, sharing quarters with dozens of ministerial students. The workers arrival created a stir in the nearby British town, with residents trying to figure out why there were so many men strolling through town wearing five-gallon cowboy hats, jeans and boots. Many surmised the men might be there to film a cowboy movie. During their tenure the cowboy oil workers were involved in many escapades, all friendly, including a British vs. U. S. bicycle derby, an exchange of sports competition (Americans teaching ministerial students how to play softball and ministerial students teaching Americans how to play soccer), a fishing trip on the River Trent which ended with oil workers finding fish they had a hard time handling, playing hooky to visit London (where they survived a German bombing attack), putting on very popular cowboy song nights at the Fox Inn, getting involved in illegally hunting wild game while trying to expand their meager meals, and becoming friends with the leader of the Polish Air Force. One of the workers was killed in a fall from an oil derrick and another fell in love with a local girl in a tender romance.

Great find! I’ve been looking for this and considered two other options. This one looked most promising. When I got it, it was even better then the picture! Plus, the extra detail in packaging made it perfect.
